rsllty 1900.
The work Of the late election was COM
pleted yesterday, when the votes for the
state officers were cantassed. The board
was composed Of Fred Won Baumbach, reti1-
ing secretary of state; Chief Justice GilaIlan
and Judge Berry, Of the supreme court; Dis
trict Judge Simons of st Paul and District
Judge Lochren of Minneapolis The work,
which occupied nearly all day. was done in
the supreme court room. There were no ma
terial changes In the figures, as compared with
those published Immediately after election
Discrepancies or inaccuracies which necessi-
tated the throwing out of votes for individ-
ual candidates appeared in almost every
county: For instance, in Atkin county the
votes (546) cast for Judges Dickinson
and V"nderburgh, respectively, were thrown
out because the returns showed that they
had been cast for s. D. Dickinson and W. II:
Charles E. Vanderburgh. This error
jim the various counties cost Judge Van
derburgh 10000 votes Mr.. Lundberg
lost about 5000 votes either through an
error In the name or an error in the ofttco
for which he was candidate. The vote by
ernor are given below. 1t will be noticed
that While McGllps majority is only 2, 800
|Rice's majority is 1000, which is
about the average Republican majority right
through the list There were few spectators
present during the canvass yesterday. Mayor
Ames and his attorney, D. B. johnson. entered
the room shortly before IL O'Clock. The de-
feated candidate bowed quietly to two or
three gentlemen around the board and then
leaned up against the table where he
listened to the calling of the fgnres. He
displayed less nervousness thad did Judge
,Vanderburgh. when the latter found hundred
after hundred of his votes going t. Nv. H.
Vanderburgh" When Mcleod county was
reached it was found that the county auditor
had omitted the necessary signature
to the returns, and the ques-
ton arose whether or not the whole
vote of the county should be thrown ont
The board concluded that it would be un-
just to disfranchise a county through the
carelessness Of an official. and consequently
allowed the vote. 1t made q difference Of
1,6l8 in Ames' total vote The folio "
ing are the official figures for governor and
lieutenant governor:

The Princess of Wales.

In less than a month the princess OF
Wales will complete her 42d year. Her
royal highness remains one of the
youngest looking women of her age in
England, despite a married life that
has not been all sugar plums and cof-
fee. During the past year or two, how
ever heprincess has regretfully enough
aged somewhat, as those who knew
her most intimately and love her best
have been forced to admit. Time is
tracing lines about her kindly eyes,
and her neck, that sure chronicle OF
women's age, has its disagreeable little
tale to tell, but these little things de-
tact nothing from the magnetic charm
of her presence and it is q satisfaction
to know that she makes as good a
portrait as ever-a satisfaction, be-
cause it is by means of her photo
graphs that the princess is principally
known to the common people.-Lop,

Gov. Hill of New York has granted
a respite of two months to a. woman
convicted of murder and sentenced to
be hanged. In the meantime the legis-
lature will meet and possibly may
change the law relative to capital
punishment either by excluding wom-
en- from its provisions or repeating it
altogether. There is no good reason,
perhaps. why the hanging of a woman
should be generally regarded as more
barbarous than the hanging ola man;
but it certainly is so regarded. There
is sure to be astrong pressure brought
10 bear on the New York Legislature
to recognize this distinction and
provide some other punishment for fe.
male murderers; and as Legislatures
are susceptible 70 pressure itmay sue.

The New York Tribune republishes
from an English journal q serious &C.
count of a national exhibition at the
Westmin ster Aquarium in honor of
the tercentenary OF the introduction
OF potatoes into Great Britain. Gold,
silver and bronze medals were bestow-
ed upon competitors displaying the
finest assortment OF potatoes, and
great enthusiasm was created by the
exhibition OF a case OF "Royal ash
leaf kidney potatoes" reduced by sci
entitic cultivation to the size of En-
glish walnuts. The Tribune Justly Oh.
serves that the business of celebrating
historical anniversaries is certainly
being overdone.

HE BROUGHT OUT THE BADGER.
The Sad Old Man Looking On Walked
Off With the Bets.
From Saddle and Mocca8i,


"a lot of youngsters were collected on
Sunday afternoon round badger hole i'll
which there was mighty obstinate old bad
ger-one of those old toughs that you could
knock sparks out Of with hammer. Any
how, the young sports had put all their
swell imported terriers in to him,
and the old badger had come out on
top every time-at least, he hadn't
come out on top, because he hadn't come
out at all but when he and the dogs got to
chewing one another underground he APP
peared TO have away ahead the finest appa-

on said kind o. sadly: II guess, misters,

seemed to have more money along, too
than you'd expect to find in such old clothes.
And the more the boys kept sousing it TO
him the moro he kept taking 'em, till finally
they quit. And the bets were all laid out
on a big stone.
